HAMBURG, N.Y. -- A car that was encased in ice along the shore of Lake Erie earlier this week has finally been freed.

The combination of high winds, cold temperatures, and a still unfrozen Lake Erie, spelled trouble for the owner of a car parked outside Hoak's Lakeshore restaurant on Sunday afternoon.

By Monday morning the little Mitsubishi had been turned into an ice sculpture from the spray of the water. It quickly became a bit of a tourist attraction as folks passing by stopped to snap a picture of the frozen car.
